Walston [Wallston], Young Twp., Jefferson Co., PA
[A coal company patch town in Young Twp., Jefferson County, Pennsylvania.]
[The town and plant of Walston, founded in 1883, was named in honor of Walston H. Brown, who was a New York financier of and first president of the Rochester and Pittsburgh Coal and Iron Co. ]
[Located on the Jefferson Traction Company Railway.]
[Since the opening of the coal mines in Young township in 1883 by the Rochester and Pittsburgh Coal & Iron Company, two new towns have sprung up, as if by magic, in that township. Wallston, which is situated on the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh Railway, about two miles east of Punxsutawney, was begun when the mines were first opened. It is now a town of two thousand inhabitants, containing two hundred houses (double blocks), one store, seven hundred coke ovens, two fan houses, two drifts and one slope. Mr. John McLeavy is the assistant manager at Wallston. (from "History of Jefferson County" With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Some its Prominent Men and Pioneers. Edited by Kate M. Scott, Syracuse, N.Y.; D. Mason & Co. 1888.).]
